In 1974, Jean Verrier, was asked to produce a Camembert that was a little out of the ordinary in Normandy, France. Drawing on past experience and longstanding Normandy traditions, Verrier succeeded in developing the celebrated cheese. Today, it is one of France's favorite Camemberts. Camembert Le Rustique unveils a pleasant, tangy fragrance, a creamy, supple texture and a subtle but distinctive authentic flavor that is a sheer delight to the senses.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Best enjoyed within seven days of delivery.

Voted "Outstanding Cheese or Dairy Product" at the 2007 New York Fancy Food Show.

I absolutely love Le Rustique and eat it often when we are in Europe for the Summer each year.
The one I received from here was still a bit green so have to let it age a bit more in the refridgerator.

The best

After living in France for over 15 years I found it very difficult to find the right cheese here. Your LeRustique cheese is excellent to our taste. We like a cheese that is aged and by most people too ripe to their taste. I don't like a cheese that looks and feels like plaster.

Just Perfect

It's no wonder this is France's favorite. One hour out of the refrigerator and it's almost runny. The bloom is not too firm nor does it have the overpowering ammonia flavor I've found in lesser cheeses. Just slightly there, as well as a touch of grass, but also just where it needs to be.

Proper Camembert

I sent this to my brother at Christmas, along with a hamper, and he told me it was quite delicious, and just at the right stage of maturity.
We live in France and buy this brand, so it's nice to be able to buy it and share it with our family who live so far away.
Thanks igourmet :)

the real deal

Not anything like other insipid, plasticky camemberts found in grocery stores. This one collapses at room temperature and glides on crackers, breads, or fingers. Flavor is full and friendly to fruits, even crisp raw veggies. A member of our family now.
